This out. we had the most successful appropriations process already in 20 years. 75% of the government got funded before the end of september. we all know we need to work together here to finish that up. we are going to do the best we can to try to achieve the president s priorities and hopefully we will not be headed down that path. what do you think of the daca fix? i can t imagine with all the things that we have to do here to wrap up this congress that we would revisit immigration. who knows? what about next year? it s on the agenda every year because we have serious immigration issues. i would remind all of you the democrats had total control of the government in 2009 and 2010 and never dealt with the ....
I sat next to the president and he said send me a bill on daca. you pass it and i ll take the heat. 48 hours later he completely reversed the position. he is a very difficult man to sit down and deal with. i think some republicans will want to work with democrats in the future. i m counting on it. one possible offer of compromise or at least has been talked about is democrats give trump the money he wants for the wall and in exchange for daca legislation. is that a deal that the democratic party would be willing to make? it s a deal we offered and was rejected by the white house. many of us thought it was hard to explain why it would be for this crazy wall, 19th century answer to a 21st century problem. we need to do it. we are willing to suck it up on ....
Majority by doing this. why is it the right move? it is the right move because we need daca reform in this country. and what we suggest is that a series of bills come to the floor of the house. not just one bill, but a series of bills. and the bill that receives the most votes so long it is a majority will go to the senate. it is time we address this issue, poppy. clearly don t have faith that your leadership is going to address it in a timely manner. you ve got 20 republicans that have signed on with democrats to get this thing forced to a vote, to get four bills forced to a vote. you need five more. do you believe you have five more republicans in the house to get on board with this and make it happen? yes, i think we re moving in that direction. and we already, as you say, had 20 of us sign this discharge petition and i hope and expect that five more will as well. then, of course, we need the democrats to sign on to make sure that we can reach the majority so that bills can co ....
Are currently operating under regular schedules. so that is now taking place at other campuses, but as for santa fe high, about a 35, 45 minute drive from houston, texas, that situation is still unfolding right now. but the key piece of information, situation contained, still active, and a suspect is currently in custody. appreciate the update on that breaking news. we ll keep a close eye on it. back to politics. this morning, a growing group of house republicans defying their leadership and pressing for a vote on daca legislation. they re concerned that a vote on the fate of dreamers will never happen on daca, so they re teaming up with democrats to try to force a vote on the floor. joining me now, one of the republican congressmen doing just that, leonard lancen of new jersey. thank you for being with us. let s just begin with that, defying your leadership, paul ryan said this is not the right move. he said that you re making a big mistake and disunifying the ....
Legislation. thank you for that, tal. this could be an embarrassing setback for the speaker of the house, if there are 25 members who side with the democrats. this hand over some power to the minority in the process. i don t think he s against the actual idea of coming up with an ideal. i m not sure anything will get past the house. mostly because this this is a rational, reasonable, bipartisan compromise that makes some sense and as such it will not happen in congress. we ll see what happens. it is a sensitive moment indeed. guys stick around. we re standing by to hear from the president of the united states. also residents on hawaii s big island are being told to take shelter following another volcanic eruption. we ll be live on the ground when we come back. ....
